Chapter 72: 72 His eyes make people feel panicked _1
It felt as if he saw right through me.
But then I thought to myself, he would soon be brought to justice and would have no chance to bother me again.
My nerves settled a bit.
“I’m fine!”
After waiting for several minutes, Su Peisheng’s figure leisurely appeared.
“Why the hell are you just arriving now?”
Ding Yinuo was angered, but Su Peisheng calmly checked his watch.
“Only the strong appear last! I didn’t get here late. Why all the fuss?”
“Court is about to start!”
“Alright, alright, let’s go in!”
With Su Peisheng, the star attorney shielding us, we easily entered the courtroom.
Once inside, the atmosphere was less tense than it was out front.
Far away, I saw Gu Yuanzhou whispering something to Zhou Chenming. I couldn’t make out their conversation.
Incidentally, Gu Yuanzhou turned his head and glanced at me a few times.
I didn’t say anything; I just looked at him calmly.
Initially, I was supposed to sit in the public gallery, as arranged by Ding Yinuo.
But ten minutes later.
Su Peisheng hurriedly came out and gave me some bad news.
“You probably won’t be able to observe on-site. Gu Yuanzhou’s lawyers have requested a closed trial!”
Ding Yinuo scoffed,
“Such a coward, he dares to do it but doesn’t want anyone to see?”
Su Peisheng patted his shoulder,
“Don’t worry, as soon as the verdict is out, I’ll let you know.”
“Alright, just go!”
Three minutes later, the trial began.
Ding Yinuo and I were restrained within the room.
“Let’s sit for a while!”
Ding Yinuo pointed to a bench.
“Ok!”
I sat down on the bench.
After a short sit, I received a text message from Ye Mengyan.
“Xiaoyun, I saw you go in, how’s the situation? I’m very worried about Gu. Can you help me ask him how he’s doing? Has the trial started yet? How long will it last?”
You could tell Ye Mengyan was more anxious than me.
Ding Yinuo, annoyed, snatched my phone, preparing to block Ye Mengyan on WeChat.
I stopped him, saying, “Don’t!”
Ding Yinuo said, “I’m astounded! How can you be so calm in the face of this mistress?”
Calm?
The first time I met Ye Mengyan, I was anything but calm.
But what use is anger?
It doesn’t solve any problems, it just reveals one’s weaknesses.
“Ding Yinuo, you’re not me! You don’t understand me!”
Ding Yinuo was taken aback, “Then give me a chance to understand you!”
I raised my chin slightly, “Who are you talking to?”
“Who else but you?”
“What I mean is, we’re sworn enemies! Do you think I would give you the opportunity to understand me, defeat me, and control me?”
Maybe it was because of Ding Yinuo’s conversation that my attention was diverted, and I wasn’t as anxious anymore.
Ding Yinuo said calmly, “Song Yun is our enemy, not you!”
I chuckled, “I am Song Yun!”
“No, you’re not!”
Ding Yinuo looked at me seriously, a spark in his eyes.
While he was gazing at me, I felt like I could see into his heart, a vast expanse beyond.
It’s strange, why do I now see Ding Yinuo differently than before?
Not only is he not annoying, but…
He seems… somewhat likable!
“Mr. Ding, you’ve been with me for so long! You know very well that I am Song Yun! Besides, you’ve long accepted that I am Song Yun, otherwise, you wouldn’t be sitting here with me!”
I gave him a glance, thinking he was trying to outwit me.
To my surprise, he repeated it very seriously, “You’re not her!”
“Enough of this!”
I stood up and walked over to the window to look out.
Waiting is indeed a grueling task.
After what felt like ages,
I heard the courtroom door open. I turned around and saw Gu Yuanzhou emerge from within.
He quickly walked out, with Zhou Chenming following closely behind. They quickly left the building.
A group of journalists followed behind them.
I urgently asked Ding Yinuo, “Why isn’t Gu Yuanzhou in handcuffs? Why wasn’t he taken away by a police car?”
This was unlike what I had imagined.
I wanted to see Gu Yuanzhou sentenced, put in handcuffs, and taken away by the police in a prison van.
Ding Yinuo turned to me and said,
“Calm down. I’ll ask Su Peisheng. Don’t worry!”
After a few minutes, Su Peisheng leisurely emerged from the courtroom, carrying a bunch of files.
At the same time, I saw that Wu Jun had been released in court…
Ye Mengyan led Wu Jun by the hand and got into a different car.
When the crowd dispersed, I stood on the steps of the courthouse, feeling a sense of emptiness.
“Let’s go home first!”
Ding Yinuo pulled me into his car.
Outside the court, a few reporters remained, angrily discussing something.
In the car, Su Peisheng was constantly on the phone, seemingly discussing something with other lawyers.
The issues were too complex for me to understand.
After half an hour, the car arrived at the entrance of Xishan Residence.
Wenya had been waiting for a long time. Upon hearing the car, she came running out and asked, “So, how many years did that bastard get?”
I shook my head.
Ding Yinuo also shook his head.
“What happened? No sentence? What’s going on?”
“Everyone, calm down, I’m about to tell you!”
Su Peisheng left us hanging, taking a sip of water in the house only to then explain what happened in the court.
The process of the debate was intense. I wasn’t interested, I only wanted to know the result.
“Wu Jun changed her testimony!”
“Yes, she did!”
“That’s not what she told us before, she said Gu Yuanzhou asked her to leave in the middle of the night…”
“But that’s not enough to prove that Gu Yuanzhou’s guilty, is it?”
“So what did she say?”
“She said she saw another person entering the villa!”
“What does that mean? Another person? The security cameras showed only her and Gu Yuanzhou leaving the house. Where is this other person coming from?”
“The cameras are at the bottom of the villa and at the front gate, but she said there’s a blind spot in the villa. If someone entered the house from the terrace, they wouldn’t be captured. She said when she was leaving, it looked like a man was leaving from the terrace.”
“So, what’s the result?”
“The conclusion is, the police will send people to Golden Bay villa in the afternoon to investigate, to see if they can find the clues Wu Jun was talking about.”
Su Peisheng’s words angered me,
“That’s bullshit! Those lies must have been what Gu Yuanzhou got Ye Mengyan to convince Wu Jun to say yesterday.”
